This document serves two purposes. First, it describes the project in Pacoima and the cool pavement technology. Second, it guides the user in how to replicate this type of project in another location experiencing urban heat island impacts. This document is a broad overview of the project steps and components, focusing on the key elements from start to finish. These steps and components allow for an inclusive, successful, and meaningful project to address climate change at the local level. The intended audience is any municipality, group, or individual looking to combat the impacts of climate change with and for the local community.

This document was developed by Climate Resolve, a local climate change non-profit organization based in Los Angeles. Climate Resolve worked closely with multiple partners (see opposite page) to guide
the implementation of this project in Pacoima and is grateful for the contributions across agencies, the private sector, and other non-profit organizations to make this project a reality.
